Chapter 17

No this wasn't going how she wanted to... She was supposed to be in and out of this meeting so she could get back to Roy, but damn these old bastard only wanted to hear their own voice. It's been almost twenty minutes since she walk in the room and started the meeting. Ten minutes to long for her own standard but she wanted it to be over now and she just might have to with all the side stares she was getting at from these perverted bastards.

"I understand each of your concerns with the project," she looks at each of them before continuing, "But let me make myself clear. That was my final offer, it's a take it or leave it kind of deal. And if you do decide not to take the offer, understand that your company will be losing money. I am very understanding and busy women so I'll give you a couple more days before I ask for your final decision but as for me I must be getting to my next appointment." She got up from her seat and walk out of the room leaving.

Christina was walking behind her.

"Miss SanClair do you think it's wise to leave them like that," she asks.

"It's fine, most of them just want to hear their own mouths, there all going to join the project so let them have the next couple of days to think about it she turn around to face Christina when she was at the elevator, "I'll leave the rest to you make sure they do see their way out," the elevator door close and soon she was in front of the building. As she exit she see Roy all waiting for her as he was leaning on the car.

"Took you long enough," he said.

"Couldn't get them to make up their mind so I gave them no choice but to agree with me," she said as she wraps her arms around his neck.

"A little evil thing, aren't you?"

"I'll take that as a complement," Roy opens the back of the window.

"Ladies first."

It was late that night and once again they were back in the limo all dress up waiting for them to arrive at their next destination. While Anastasia was checking her makeup, Roy arms was around her, hands on her waist. When they came to a stop Roy opens the door and the both of them step out on the red carpet. Many photos were taken of them.

It was a birthday party for the Mayor in there town. Every year he held this even and was always over the top. She came many times with Uncle Oliver but she couldn't get it out of her mind on how boring these parties were. It was way more fun when she plan it herself. Just as she thought it couldn't get any worst the man himself came.

"Anna, it's been forever! My have you grown," he said as she went into his big embrace.

"It has been a while hasn't it," she said.

"Indeed it has," he looks over at Roy. "Well this is different from usual. You always came with Mr. Queen, who is the fine lad who is so close to my future bride." Anastasia gave a little smile a laughs while Roy glares at her a bit.

"Funny as always Mayor this is my copain Roy Harper," the both of them shook hands.

"What a strong grip you have lad," he said. "And what about Mr. Wayne I've been hearing you in the news with."

"A girl can keep her options open," Roy squeezes her hip a bit and whispers in her ear.

"Not funny"

"Well as long as I'm in those running," he said.

"Of course and Happy Birthday to you Mayor," she said as he left to greet more guess.

"A girl can keep her options open?"

"A joke Roy," she said. "A little friendly chit chat, now let's see who else I have to talk to before I make my famous disappearance."

Anastasia and Roy were making their way into the crowd when a bunch of guy with guns came in from the front and back exit. It started a panic.

"Alright, everyone let's make this as easy as possible all wallets and jewelry go in the bag and no one gets hurt," Roy makes his way out of the crowd without being notice. Just as the robber came in front of her an arrow went and pierce the bag hanging it high on the wall. Everyone turn and saw Red Arrow on the other side of the room.

"Red Arrow!?"

"How did he get in here?" Anastasia looks around trying to see if she could get the guest out without them getting in the way. Then she saw the gas that the chief was using to cook the food.

Sucking a breath the fire went around all that was capture including herself everyone move away from the fire. They couldn't see what was going one with Red Arrow and the robbers them the fire started to make a path to the front exit. While some of the robbers tried shooting at the wall of fire between them it never made it to their side. The mayor was the first one to lead the other and Anastasia was the last. When they were outside the fire disappear and they couldn't hear anything that was going on inside. It didn't take long for the police was soon call and when they went inside the robbers were all tide up together while hanging from the wall.

An arm slips around her waist and she immediately smiles as she looks up.

"From the wall," she said.

"Okay, maybe I got a little bored but what about you a wall of fire?"

"I don't do well just sitting around and being rescue," she said.

"Of course not," they left the party seeing that it's over with.

They went to a straight to the hotel. Roy went and took a shower first. When he came out he was expecting to find Anastasia waiting for him, but she was fast asleep at the edge of the bed still fully dress. A smile started to form on his face seeing the state that she was in. Seeing her so vulnerable and innocence like this makes him want to protect her more and more, but he ever told her he thought like this she'll tried to prove him wrong.

He walks over to her, taking off her heels one at a time then slipping off her dress. Gently picking her up, he went and set her on the bed, pulling the blanket over her. Roy eases into the bed next to her pulling her close to his embrace and falling asleep.
